    Uluru Statement from the Heart, 2017

    This episode closes the series by allowing us to ponder the Uluru Statement from the Heart in relation to the texts that preceded it and the failed Referendum that followed it. The complexity and ambiguity of this short text exemplify the difficulties that now confront Australians when we come to think about this aspect of our national life.

    The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, 1989

    The Commission, or ATSIC, was treated by its champions as a vehicle for self-determination. But the meaning of that word and its relationship with Indigenous sovereignty has been a lightning rod for the nation’s debates.

    Indigenous Sovereignty and the Western Sahara, Advisory Opinion, 1975

    PM John Gorton on Assimilation and Voice, 1968

    In this episode we hear how Australia’s accidental Prime Minister, John Gorton, imagined how the new Federal powers created by the 1967 Referendum would be used. From today’s perspective, what is striking is the continued belief that a natural process of social development would move Australia forwards, obviating the need for political choices.

    The Referendum Debate, 1967

    Routinely misrepresented as the moment in which Australia granted citizenship to its Indigenous peoples, the political and practical significance of the 1967 Referendum was uncertain even to the actors who carried it through the official process.

    The Yirrkala Bark Petitions, 1963

    These petitions are a remarkable artefact of Australia’s unique political culture, combining a medieval form of communication, petitioning parliament, with an even more ancient style of articulating rights to land.
